Campaigns we have run for brands like Punjab National Bank
A campaign we planned, booked and photographed for another advertiser in BFSI, run by the same team and the same process you would work with.
Auto hoods and an LED van carrying the housing subsidy message in Gujarati
The home loan subsidy under PMAY-U 2.0 is worth up to Rs 1.8 lakh, which is a number worth reading twice, so the plan put it where people are stationary or slow. Auto-rickshaw hoods carried it in Gujarati through residential and market roads, and a mobile LED van worked the busier market streets where a moving screen holds attention a static panel does not. Both carried the co-branded scheme mark, so the offer read as a government scheme rather than a sales claim.
Autos put the message at eye level in traffic and in lanes a hoarding cannot reach, while the LED van concentrated the same message where footfall is densest. Running the subsidy figure in Gujarati rather than English kept it legible to the households the scheme is aimed at.
Every placement shown was booked directly with the media owner and photographed on the ground by our team.

Financial services advertising in India
Print is the sector’s leading medium, taking 70.6% of ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025. AMFI leads on 15.8% of that spend, 28.7% of the sector’s ads run on digital, and 2,118 advertisers were still active in January 2026.
Where the volume moved, quarter by quarter
Ad volume indexed against the opening quarter = 100, inside one collection batch. The 2026 exports are not on the same footing, so the trend stays within the 12 months to September 2025 rather than crossing that boundary.
Up 49% on the opening quarter.
Up 91% on the opening quarter.
Down 29% on the opening quarter.
Ads recorded per quarter across the 12 months to September 2025, indexed to Oct-Dec 24. Media with too few ads to compare are left out.
The preferred medium
Print captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 70.6% of estimated television, print and radio spend. Digital sits outside this split because TAM prices it on a different scale; it is reported by ad count instead.
A plan that skips print buys a smaller share of this category’s voice than the headline spend suggests.
